This weekend Dan and his brothers suprised their dad with a 4 day trip Up North for his birthday. Dan, the boys and I had to pick up his brother Ben at the airport Thursday night and take him and Dan to their parents house. Because Ben's flight got in at 5:30 pm, the boys and I didn't get home that night until 8:30 pm.
No one helped me this weekend. I had to take care of the boys by myself and it was exhausting. Spending so much time with the boys and having to do every single thing was stressful and tiring. Single parents are amazing! I don't know how they care for their kids without a partner. I would go crazy.
Friday we woke up and went to the playground while waiting for the farm to open. We went to a farm we haven't been to and that's closer to home. Plus it's $7 cheaper!
The farm was great! All the animals were up close and easy to touch. They also had a small children's area with climbers. Cal loved the animals. He took his time and looked at each one. Jake on the other hand, ran around not looking at anything. I spend most of the time chasing him while dragging poor Cal behind me. I felt bad that Cal couldn't look at the animals like he wanted to. Maybe I'll go with just Cal who seemed to appreciate it more.
After the farm we came home for lunch and naps, then spent the afternoon wallking around Target. It was very hot and humid outside so I though staying indoors was a better option. We looked at toys and books and picked up a couple of groceries. When we were done we picked up dinner and spent the evening at home.
Looks like they had a blast at the farm! They're so cute and little standing at the fence - love it! :) Taking care of the kiddos by yourself is definitely trying. Good job on making the day exciting!
